LEFTOVERS
11/26/2009
Happy "turkey day" everyone. Here are some leftovers/recycled stuff to watch while that food and booze set in. It's mostly Autumn Bowl out-takes and a few things that didn't make the cut for the next issue... which is nearly done. Cheers. Music: Johnny Thunders, Live 1984. Read More

MONICO!
11/21/2009
Meet Monico. He's a ripper. You all know Tyler already. He rips as well. My issue edit is on hold until I get the OK from Dano to use a grip of Tyler's footage... Here are some leftovers/clips that may or may not end up in said edit. Thanks to the Stefan Janoski pro-model skate shoe for the thrilling soundtrack. Also, Johnny is waiting on me, which means YOU'RE waiting on me... I'm on it!... New issue very soon. Read More

BEHIND THE TAPE: BABYSTEPS
10/12/2009
The first issue of Broketape took over a year, with umpteen edits and various music choices. Finally, after I moved to Taos ... two hours from the skate scene I was dedicated to covering, things finally got moving. In issues Two and Three, new parks were opening up, new friends were being made, and the guard of the Albuquerque scene seemed to be changing. As exciting as it was, this period of time was bitter ... Read More

BEHIND THE TAPE? SURE.
10/10/2009
I have been working on a "Best of" type of deal ever since the computer melt-down happened and I found myself filling a hard-drive with all the old clips, etc. I had every intention of making an epic montage that would shock and amaze the internet skate video conglomerate, but then, I sort of got "over it." Then I got stoked again. Etc. Now, with Fall upon us and probably two issues coming within the next couple ... Read More

COME BACK JONEE
10/06/2009
On the eve prior to heading East, I met up with my long time co-hort, and fellow skate lensman, Johnny Gomez. During the few hours we had to catch up, he proceeded to blow my mind with his future plans and even more so with the footage stockpile he was sitting on. When he announced "here is a Broketape edit I have done and ready... you'll love the song." I about shit myself. I sat and watched in amazement. S ... Read More

PUSHIN' EAST PT. 2 : NYC
10/01/2009
After Haveboard and I returned to the "Command Center" from Pop's, we quickly gathered up what added gear would be needed for NYC and hit the "Chinatown" bus, Brooklyn bound. It was raining. We were hungry and thirsty, but we skipped the food and hit the bar running. Shots and beers, shots and beers. Needless to say, looooong night. Woke to more rain. We grub and head straight to the Autumn bowl for the Brent At ... Read More

PUSHIN' EAST PT. 1 : PHILLY
09/30/2009
As it happens, when you travel great distances, new perspectives seem to open up like spring flowers in bloom. This was the case for me as I ventured out to the skateparks of Philadelphia. First stop, FDR. Upon securing a new plank, thanks to "Dem Noc Boyz" down at Nocturnal, I found that between the travel wear n' tear and previous nights bike ride shenanigans, I was unfit to push swiftly though the city street ...

PRIMARY PLAYLAND
08/12/2009
Say what you will about Mayor Martin Chavez, but as a skateboarder, I say - "FUCK YEAH!" Now clocking in with six skateparks throughout the city, Albuquerque is killing it. The latest is another stab at the 1/2 concrete, 1/2 Skatewave concept. Although to be fair, it is mostly concrete. Most everyone I talked to has admitted to spending "all Summer here." It's fun to say the least, so without further a-dooo, her ... Read More

CALIFORNIA UBER ALLES
07/04/2009
There is a reason the skateboard world seems to rotate around "So. Cal." The weather kills it, the School yards are a plenty, and it seems everywhere you look there is a spot or someone is skating. Upon this trip out to the promised land I had the pleasure of hanging/skating with DJ Chavez, Lizard King, J-Roy, Sebo Walker, Yoon Sul, and my boy "Benny Lee" AKA "Mr. New Mexico." Ben is always down to come to Venic ... Read More
